Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Queenie is despondent. She cleans her house and goes for a walk, ending up by a crowded bar. She thinks about how she doesn’t have fun anymore. Guy happens to be at the bar and chats with her, commenting on her scrubby clothing. She leaves, texting the chat group about how Ted is married and she just ran into the Welshman while wearing her scrubs. Her friends remind her to not give these men any energy.
Ever since college, Queenie has experienced sleep paralysis. This night, she wakes up paralyzed and hallucinates a man walking toward her. However, she awakes to realize that her doorbell is ringing incessantly. It’s two o’ clock in the morning. She sees that it’s Guy. He’s wasted and whines about not having sex with her anymore and not knowing how to get home. Queenie’s neighbor is upset by the ruckus, so she lets Guy in. He makes a few attempts to touch her, but she rejects him, telling him to sleep on the couch. Despite telling him not to come upstairs, he comes up a little later claiming to be too cold downstairs. He tries to make a move on her again and she tells him to stop.
